Summary: Enhanced webbrowser.py

Initial Comment:
The patch enhances webbrowser.py.

First, all calls to os.system return result code, and
the inverse of the code (it is ok/fail status) passed
through all higher-level routines up to top-level call
to open(url). This allows to check if a browser was
really started.

Second, the very open() modified so it is now trying to
run all registered browsers in order until a browser
returns 1.

Third, the file can be used as a program: webbrowser.py
url. Optional parameters -n allows to open the url in a
new window.

I've consolidated patches 728278, 754022, 954628, 1166780
into this single patch. Some parts of those patches were
applied, some rejected, many things changed. I also added
elinks support - currently it is very similar to links.
